Deau Eyes, June Baby & Chloë Ester

Deau Eyes is a storyteller at heart, finding deep connection through songwriting, music, and performance. A firm believer in collaboration, she surrounds herself with a rotating band of artists, always serving the song and elevating the moment. Her 2022 album Legacies resonated widely, earning the Newlin Music Prize and landing her on NPR’s Slingshot Artists to Watch list. Named Style Weekly’s Top 40 Under 40, she is deeply rooted in her creative community, constantly learning, working, and growing alongside fellow artists. Through Deau Studio, she shares her passion for music with over 25 students, fostering a space where storytelling and song go hand in hand.

June Baby blends catchy hooks, complex melodies, and vocal agility into indie pop that hits different. Honest songs with heart, shaped by a love for storytelling and sound. New EP coming soon—this is pop with depth, and June Baby is just getting started.
 

Charlottesville native singer-songwriter Chloë Ester pours herself entirely into each of her distinctively devastating songs informed by indie, emo, punk, electronica, and pop influences. She delivers crushingly vulnerable lyrics with a clear, magnetic voice and blistering directness, obsessing over fear, trauma, love, and its absence in the charmingly sarcastic and self-deprecating manner that has earned her the moniker ‘Melanchloë’ in the local music scene.
